In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Listed at EUR 99,000 but with an estimated renovation cost of EUR 200/m2 (EUR 28,000) yields an effective price of ~EUR 127,000 or ~EUR 907/m2, about 2.6× the regional median of EUR 350/m2. The property is described as habitable and well kept with many photos, but the effective €/m2 is far above typical values for the area.
More on the house and the area
A well‑kept, immediately habitable two‑storey town house with a private gated courtyard/garden and a sunny enclosed balcony; the rooms are large and retain traditional terrazzo floors and vintage character. Good village setting (church tower visible) and very attractive price, but note the single bathroom and external stair access to the upper level.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€9,000 – €16,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Only one bathroom (1.0) for a 3‑bed home
- Upper floor accessed by an external staircase — may be inconvenient for some
- Will need ordinary cosmetic updating if used as a full‑time primary residence
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster sits in the rolling hills of the lower Alto Monferrato on the edge of the Orba valley. The Orba river runs through this part of the province. Within about 15 km are the wine hills around Ovada, a small town with services and rail connections, and the area is known for Dolcetto di Ovada vineyards. The Ligurian Apennines rise not far to the south, but the stronger mountain scenery is outside the immediate radius.
